The BARRIERS Latest Device,

Smuggling the hair is the latest device of the
BARRIERS to draw a customers money. hear
it Is being worked very successfully down
east, but it has not reached this CITY vet.
Singing is done either by red hot irons or by
flame. The hair is held up in comb as now
III cutting, and the ends are singed off. 1t is
a custom that finds favor with those who
have tendency to badness. The barber tells
them that their hair is coming out. They get
frightened and then he tells them it is caused
by the oil of the root escaping from the top
of each individual hair. If the patron admits
that gauzy statement the barber follows it I'D
with the remedy, which, of course, is nothing
more than smuggling the top of each hair.
This, the customer is told. will stop I'D the
hollow by causing hard little knob to form
at the end. That sounds reasonable, and they
take the smuggling.
As each hair is left with the friZzled end
the entire head Of hair looks thicker. and the
customer looking in the glass thinks his hair
Is REALIZING improving under the singeing
and getting thicker So he is happy, and no
body is hurt But the barber ought to be ex-
cused for this little scheme The trade is not
what it used to be. The dye business is
almost forgotten, although twenty years ago
it was the most fruitful source Of our rev.
enue Then everybody had his beard or
mustache dyed. Brownish or light whiskers
were rare then. Everything had to be black.
1t was fifty cents for FIVE minutes work on
the thinnest mustache, so the profits could
not help being great. --Globe-Democrat.

ADDITIONAL TELEGRAPH
CAPITAL BUDGET.
THINGS PRETTY QUIET.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The war de
partment authorities have received an off
icial information on which to base fears OF
a serious outbreak among the White River
Utes. The latest information received at
the war department about the reported out
break, and in fact the first from a military
source, is. the following dispatch which the
adjutant general has received from Major
Randlette, 9th infantry, who is in command
Of Fort Duchesne, under date of August
&c. Rumors from the Colorado line re-
ceive careful attention. On Sunday
last Burns sent to MeeKer an
employee named McAndrews with Charley
Cavanaugb, McCook and six other Utes
to ascertain the facts. Upon receipt of a
telegram this morning, | drove over to
Ouray, where Burns is revising the pay
pay rolls of the Uncomyahgres. While
there letter as follows was received from
McAndrews:
RANGELY, Colo, Aug. 10th.
Everything all right on Blue mountains
here. The whites seem to think that the
peaple around Meeker are badly
scared Have seen nobody who
knows anything from Meeker.
VIII leave after dinner for Meeker. The
Indians with me want me to tell the In
dams of Unitah Ourway not to be scared.
McCook and myself go to Meeker and l
win write you again when find more out.

The Indians living at the agencies are
undisturbed and ali are at home. Old
Colorow is said to be hunting in the noun
tains of Colorado. and young Colorow,
his son is with McAndrews.

THE MAGAZINE GUN

Not Powerful Weapon In the Hands of
the Rural Soldier.
Even under the most favorable conditions.
the magazine gun changes its range after each
fire, because it is lighter by the weight Of the
fred cartridge. 1t is, of course, evident that,
in the hands Of skillful man, a cool and in
telligent man, the magazine gun is a power
full weapon. But the average soldier, especial
ly him from the rural districts, is awkward,
stupid, and excitable. Once let him get to
work on the lever of the magazine gun, and
it is ten to one he fires every shot in his mag
azine regardless of range, or breaks the lever:
and if, as is likely, it should prove difficult to
restrain his ardor, the quick handling of
troops, change of front, and the like might
be seriously impeded.
Whoever may have followed the various
trials that have been made with the maya
zine gun in the hands of the common soldier.
or at least those few which have been pub
liSled, can scarcely fail of surprise that the
great powers one and all, should have de-
cided to adopt it. OF course it is to be ex-
pected that continual handling will bring O.
certain amount of precision; but in these DAYS
OF great armies, when 900 600 men are set
af1eld by single power, it is necessary to
count the cost of learning to use a new
weapon, and TO learn whether or no it NAV
be relied upon in times of excitement, when
roughly and awkwardly handled
1t was only few weeks ago when the
One Hundred and Thirty-second of the line
had a trial with the magazine gun Now. this
corps is to the general staff of the German
army what the Black Watch is to the English
army, what the Old Guard vas to Napoleon
and the Tenth Legion to Cesar They fired
over the target and under it, and to one side
OF it, and, as if there was no such thing as
keeping anything like a range, they no sooner
refilled their magazines and started again
than the same observed differences were
recorded If the target could have fired
back, even with single leaders, there would
not have been any hope for them Surely. if
whole corps practicing at the butts with
single firers had exhausted ammunition in
this reckless way, we should long since have
been compelled to establish powder factories
for each regiment or go back to the crossbow
and the sling. Scientific American.

Said lady friend: why don't you say
something Of the convenience the district
messenger boys are to ladies? My husband
is absent from home the greater part of the
time, and but for these little blue coated
fellows would be compelled to remain at
home and miss much enjoyment for l would
not care to go to the theatre or evening en-
tertainments and return alone
"As it is now, if wish to go to party or
to the opera, and my husband is away, l
simply telephone my order for a boy, and at
the close of the entertainment / find nv
escort ready and waiting. l tell you the
District is great convenience TO the ladies
in this particular, and makes us entirely in
dependent of the men. And then it is so
cheap. The little fellows are so well trained
and gentlemanly. They see me safely to my
door, sign their ticket and give them the
ten or twenty cents, and have no one to
thank. Toledo Sunday Journal
